Hajj for oneself and the intention for one’s mother in the same Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, whose name is Habib al-Rahman, says: I performed Hajj for myself last year. This year, I intended to perform Hajj ifrad, and I performed the arrival tawaf and sa’y, and I did not intend for anyone but myself. So at this point, is it permissible for me to intend for my mother, who is present in this Hajj, if my father’s [Hajj] is invalid?

Answer:
It is better for you to complete it for yourself, and to shorten your hair and reserve for an ‘Umrah, then proceed with the Hajj. But today is the Day of ‘Arafah; if you shorten your hair and intend it as an ‘Umrah, and then respond to the call for Hajj, that is better. If you continue, then the Hajj is for you, and you have found it. As for the mother, leave it, if Allah wills, for another year. When he entered the state of ihram for himself, he descended [from the intention], so [he should] intend for himself, yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
